Hong Yi, upon seeing this, took out another candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and offered it to Wen Xiao’ai once again.
Wen Xiao’ai accepted it with a smile and ate the candy.
Casually crumpling the wrapper, Hong Yi suddenly spoke up, "Give it back."
"Huh?" Wen Xiao’ai paused, a bit slow to respond.
Hong Yi was staring at Wen Xiao’ai’s hand, which had formed into a fist due to the action of crumpling the wrapper.
"...Oh," Wen Xiao’ai, not understanding why Hong Yi wanted the wrapper, instinctively handed it back to her.
Hong Yi took it, unfolded the wrapper, and refolded it neatly.
Wen Xiao’ai watched Hong Yi’s somewhat odd behavior with curiosity but didn’t ask any further.
Instead, she took out a lollipop from her pocket.
Hong Yi glanced instinctively at the lollipop and slowed her pace, obviously surprised that Wen Xiao’ai was giving her something.
After a two-second pause, she looked up at Wen Xiao’ai.
The smile on Wen Xiao’ai’s face was truly infectious, her deep blue eyes more beautiful than the starry sea.
Even Hong Yi, who was accustomed to solitude, reticence, and never asking more questions than necessary, was affected by her smile.
She watched Wen Xiao’ai for a few seconds, the phrase "Sister Hong Yi" from earlier overlapped with the "Sister" from her memory a few times.
Hong Yi’s fingers, folding the wrapper, flexed slightly and the next moment, she reached out and took the lollipop from Wen Xiao’ai’s hand.
She lowered her gaze, staring at the candy in her hand for a while, with no one knowing what she was thinking.
Even she herself didn’t know what was on her mind.
Seeing that Hong Yi had accepted her candy, Wen Xiao’ai felt somewhat happy.
Hong Yi quickly adjusted her emotions, took the lollipop, finished folding the wrapper, and placed it in her pocket before continuing to walk forward.
Wen Xiao’ai immediately followed.
As they walked, Hong Yi spoke again, "Did you get lost just now?"
"Mhm, I almost got lost and even encountered some bad people."
"Don’t you know how to use navigation?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel-fire.net
Hong Yi’s tone and voice were as always cold and distant, like a sign saying ’keep out’, but Wen Xiao’ai clearly felt that she wasn’t as difficult to get along with as before.
At least, she was initiating conversation now.
"What is navigation?"
After hearing Wen Xiao’ai’s words, Hong Yi glanced at her, and Wen Xiao’ai’s clear and worldly innocent eyes made her believe, she wasn’t joking.
"Take out your phone."
"I don’t have a phone."
This time, Hong Yi truly found it hard to believe.
In this day and age, even three-year-old children play with phones, and she didn’t have one?
"I don’t know how to use it."
"I don’t need it. I’m with Jun Moyan every day, so I can do without that thing."
She was curious about those devices, but not particularly interested in them.
Rather than playing with a phone, she preferred staring at Jun Moyan~
"So you don’t contact your family? Not even to check the time?"
"Mhm... well, my family doesn’t use that either."
Hong Yi watched Wen Xiao’ai for a while and then, without saying anything more, led her back to the hotel.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, Hong Yi received a call from Jun Moyan.
Hong Yi answered and immediately handed the phone to Wen Xiao’ai, saying, "It’s Third Young Master’s call."
Wen Xiao’ai hurriedly took it.
"Xiaoguai, where are you?"
Upon hearing Wen Xiao’ai’s voice, Jun Moyan immediately felt relieved.
"I’m downstairs, I’ll be up in a moment. Have you come back yet?"
"I’m back. I’ll come down to meet you."
